Busta had a huge catch in the UF game. Adams had a couple of huge catches in the Mizzou game. Overall I think they both had productive years. Maybe what 4 TDs combined...around 25 receptions combined...

Spurrier's offense has never been an offense to focus and utilize the TE alot...Never has! and Never will! Some people just can't let that sink in.

He's had a history of doing this. He told Bo Baldwin not to come here as well. That combined with Poona actually wanting to come here early on, saying he was going to take an official, and Payne being the one to notify the presses that he wasn't....oh, and combine that with Payne coming on here and threatening posters via PM...

Well, doesn't take a genius to see what was going on.

How does a HC at Hilton Head get to advise a QB prospect at Aiken on what college to go to?

This whole thing is just silly IMO. All the idiot posters in this thread are too stupid to see how their continued teeth gnashing and bitter, sour-grapes conjecturing on all the conspiracy theories over one little prospect and his HS HC just makes our fanbase look small and petty, and gives that HC - if he does indeed visit this website - all the future ammunition he'll ever need.

It's just one kid, from a high school that has never been a recruiting pipeline for ANY major college program. But no one seems capable of letting this whole thing go. It's pathetic, really......

I don't know who posted about Baldwin, all I know we hear about Poona how he likes USC and how we are his dream school than we hear from Mr. Payne. - Poona doesn't like USC. We about thinking about visiting USC around Shrine Bowl and Strong going to Texas our coaches meet with him and set up a visit date, two days later - BJ Payne: Poona doesn't want to visit USC. Every time Poona says something complimentary or like he is interested. MAJOR PAYNE comes out says Poona doesn't like USC, USC is not in contention, Poona doesn't want to visit USC. That is all I know! and that is all I need to! We are trying to get a piece of Poona and the guy is C*ckblocking us every step of the way. He's a Gamecockblocker.

Rooster, where did you get that 40 time? His 247sports.com profile says he runs a 4.83, 40.

He plays at Theodore HS west of Mobile. They aren't a great program but they play some very good teams in the Mobile area.

Kid has been recorded numerous times in the 4.5 - 4.6 range. He is 6'3" 215 lbs and bench presses over 300 lbs. He could play LB, TE, or WR according to TBS. Do not understand some thinking in this thread. The town he is from only has 6,000 people total so he was way way under the radar. Not trying to compare him to Captain Munnerlyn as a player but their recruitment is very similar. If he doesn't pan out then he likely won't be here in 2 years anyhow so it really doesn't matter. I think Botkin is an excellent evaluator and I really feel this kid could be a good one in the future.

Seems like number 89 caught a TD pass in the bowl game, plus at least one other critical third down conversion. Maybe that is wrong. That is just the most recent game.

Exactly my point. "Ok mr stud TE recruit. Come here and we might throw to you 30 times all year."

How many attempts did the WR's get? I'm saying if the TE is gonna be next to nil, then why pursue top talent at the position? Seems we are wasting time and could focus on RB's and WR's and just get a big blocking TE.

Everything you just posted is old news now. We are done with Ford. Nothing that's being posted in this thread now is other than conspiracy theory and the same bitter opinions about Ford's head coach repeated ad-nausea. My opinion is to let the thread die off of the front page, like it did back when it was thought he was going on to Louisville to play for Strong....

It could be most teams targeted the TE's on defense allowing the smaller receivers to have the production I previously referenced?

Yes, I have asked the same question so.many times. One has to wonder why anyone tells kornbutt anything. The jackass could say, "X is a heavy favorite to attend X school," but instead he announces for the kids. The Dixon's & the Powdersville crew come to mind right off the bat. Oh well,aybe one day people won't talk to him.

ok, gents, I have been around for a while. I can see some resemblance to Gurley...but to me when I see him palying RB in his high school film clips, he looks to me like George Rogers at USC. Does anyone else see this? (of course George ran like this on college)...

You think this guy reminds you of GR....I'll say this, he probably would do us more good in this class as a RB than a TE. I hope you're right.

I think it was obvious that teams targeted the running game (Mike Davis), allowing the referenced production.

Just saying that if one looks at the whole picture, it is not so black and white as "we don't use TE's. On pass plays, tight ends can be the safety valve in Spurrier's O. See the 2012 Mizzou game for results when a team just doesn't cover our TE.

a) 30 passes is pretty good. Remember, our offense is designed to exploit what the defense is giving you.

Anderson and Adams will probably both be drafted. We have Jared Cook making big bucks, Justice Cunningham is with the Rams too. Wesyle Saunders hasn't quite got kicked out of the NFL for good yet. We have a good track record with TE regardless how many passes they get throw to them.
